Inspired with massage during his studies, he decided to work with the body. Finished postgraduate specialty of Athletic Recovery (2001) and a series of massage and manual therapy courses. While working with a person suffering from CP, he accidentally saw a recording of a Watsu session of that person, and, interested in the session's results, he decided to take part in Watsu 1 training in the Netherlands (2000).

Very quickly, he fulfilled the remaining requirements and was granted the right to conduct Watsu 1 and Watsu 2 trainings (2010) and Watsu 3 in 2016. At this time, he also found out the concept of working with fascia - Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers, which significantly influenced his work in water and outside swimming pools.

On the basis of his knowledge and experience in sports and working in water, he created his original concept of Watsu for Athletes, which teaches the optimum application of Watsu in athletic recovery and supporting athletic training. He is also the co-author (with Mariusz Kurkowski) of the original concept of Fascia in Water, which presents the potential of applying the techniques of myofascial release in water environment.

He was taught "dry techniques" by i.a. Ger Plaatsmaan, Aleksander Bielecki, Thomas Myers, James Earls, Robert Schleip, Serge Gracovetsky, Willem Fourie, and many other teachers and students, who, by sharing their knowledge and asking questions, stimulated him in continuous development and formed the foundations of knowledge he now passes to his students in turn. As far as Watsu teaching is concerned, he prefers the style based on techniques ensuring safety and high quality of movement and touch, as well as ergonomics in therapist's work. This new approach, of which Tomasz is one of the pioneers, gains more and more interest globally, and it is the basis for therapeutic application of Watsu.
